Outside the Duke Shun Mansion, two carriages were parked, evidently on Ning Suxuan's orders. She preferred quiet; after Yu Tingwan finished her buns, she boarded the carriage at the front with Nanny Ru's assistance.
Yu Tingwan blinked, clattered over to the carriage at the back, enjoying the freedom without anyone's supervision.
This time, besides Nanny Ru, the remaining escorts were members of the Wei Family Army dressed in plain clothes. The wheels turned, heading towards the city gate.
Inside the carriage, a subtle incense lingered.
Ning Suxuan sat upright, her back straight, her hands resting on her knees, maintaining the same posture throughout the journey.
This was the most standard sitting posture for noblewomen of prominent families, scrutinized by all without fault.
But maintaining such composure both in public and in private, as if without life or breath, must be exhausting.
Nanny Ru brewed tea, saying, "I think the Heir's wife is an interesting person."
